Hi everyone, I'm trying to load a custom plugin with Solr 4.9. I'm able to do this running Solr 4.9 on a single server but not when running as a cluster. I'm hoping for some advice on how best to move forward, whether it be configuring the current infrastructure correctly or upgrading Solr.
When running on a single server, I followed the instructions here <https://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrPlugins>. In short, I placed the jar in a directory on the server, added this directory using the sharedLib attribute to solr.xml and then used the lib directive in solrconfig.xml to point to this jar. In cluster mode, I've tried the following: - Adding the plugin with the blob store API as per the instructions here <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Adding+Custom+Plugins+in+SolrCloud+Mode>. However, the blob store API is added in Solr 5.0. - Adding the plugin as in the single server case. However, the <solr> tag in solr.xml appears to ignore the sharedLib attribute when running in SolrCloud. Does anyone know if it's possible to run custom plugins in SolrCloud with Solr 4.9? If so, are you able to see where I'm going wrong? I can provide more detail on either of my attempted solutions if pertinent. If it's not possible, I'll look into upgrading Solr. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Jake
